1.1.2. SOIL AND PETROLEUM CONTAMINATED WASTE:
1.1.2.1. CONTAMINATED ABSORBENTS: All petroleum spills/releases must be cleaned up
using absorbent materials. Spills caused by the Contractor will be the Contractor’s responsibility
to containerize and dispose of the contaminated absorbent material. Spills caused by the Federal
Government will be the responsibility of the Federal Government and shall contact the base Haz-
ardous Waste Contractor at [email protected] or 225-5808 to arrange for pick-up.
1.1.2.2. SOIL. ALL soil must be tested to determine if it contains any contaminants prior to
relocating it on base or disposing of it off-base. Testing and disposal of soil shall follow Virginia
Solid Waste Management Regulations 9VAC20-81-660 (soil contaminated with petroleum prod-
ucts). Testing shall include items specified in the solid waste regulations to include but not limited
to: RCRA hazardous waste characteristics (i.e., corrosivity, ignitability, reactivity, and toxicity);
total metals; volatile organic compounds; semi-volatile compounds; total petroleum hydrocarbons
(TPH), pesticides/herbicides; polychlorinated bi-phenyls (PCBs); presence of liquids (paint filter);
Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene, and Xylene (BTEX); Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Proce-
dure (TCLP); total organic halides (TOX); and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooc-
tanoic acid (PFOA). If test results determine “other than clean”, the material will have to be trans-
ported to an appropriate landfill or processing center based on the contaminants identified. Con-
taminated soils, in sludge or slurry form, to include soils from directional drilling shall be contain-
erized and managed as either hazardous waste or non-regulated waste, depending on what contam-
inate was spilled. Under no circumstances may soil be stock piled for dewatering, as this could be
considered landfilling and would require a permit from the VDEQ. It shall be the responsibility of
the Contractor to dispose of such containerized contaminated soil. CEIE must review the sample
results and must sign all hazardous/nonhazardous waste manifests prior to disposal. Contact 633
CES/CEIE Hazardous Waste Program Managers, 757-764-1133/1132 for additional information.
One composite sample (combined number of samples collected into a single sample) is required
for every 250 cubic yards of soil to be disposed.
NOTE: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES shall soil, clean or contaminated, from JBLE-Lang-
ley be delivered to or donated to off-base sources for use. Clean or contaminated soil shall be
taken to an appropriate landfill or processing center based on the contaminants identified by anal-
ysis.

1.6.4. CONSTRUCTION GENERAL PERMIT (CGP) COVERAGE:
LDAs greater than or equal to one (1) acre require Construction General Permit coverage under
the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) General Permit for Discharges of Storm-
water from Construction Activities from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality
(VDEQ). The Virginia Stormwater Management Program Permit Regulations can be found in
9VAC25-870 and the General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activities
can be found in 9VAC25-880. After SWPPP approval (see Section 1.6.3), the Contractor shall
register for CGP coverage from VDEQ in accordance with 9VAC25-880-50. The Contractor is
considered the Permit Operator and is responsible for all CGP registration fees. See below for the
applicable construction permit fees per 9VAC25-870-820:
DEQ CGP PERMIT FEE SCHEDULE
Site Size
DEQ Fee
1 to <5 acres $2,700.00
>5 acres to <10 acres $3,400.00
>10 acres to <50 acres $4,500.00
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Revised 20 Feb 20
The Contractor shall submit a copy of the VDEQ Construction General Permit Registration State-
ment to the 633 CES/CEIE Water Program Manager for review and approval prior to submittal to
VDEQ. Upon approval, the Contractor shall submit the VDEQ Construction General Permit Reg-
istration Statement and applicable fee to VDEQ. The Contractor may begin LDAs once a VDEQ
Construction General Permit coverage letter has been received. No LDAs shall commence with-
out an approved SWPPP and VDEQ-issued CGP coverage. The Contractor shall be responsi-
ble for terminating permit coverage once the project site has reached final stabilization and verified
by the VDEQ Inspector and Contracting Officer. Final Stabilization is defined in 9VAC25-880-1
as soil disturbing activities have been completed and a permanent vegetative cover has been es-
tablished on denuded areas not otherwise permanently stabilized. Permanent vegetation shall not
be considered established until a ground cover is achieved that is uniform, mature enough to sur-
vive, and will inhibit erosion.
1.6.5. PROHIBITED ILLICIT DISCHARGES:
The Contractor shall ensure no illicit discharges occur at the project site. An "illicit discharge" is
any non-stormwater discharge to the storm drain system, except as expressly allowed by JBLE-
Langley’s VPDES permits, the project-specific VSMP General Permit for Discharges of Storm-
water from Construction Activities, and/or a discharge approved in writing by JBLE-Langley.
Water from firefighting, hydrant flushing, and A/C condensate are not considered illicit discharges.
Examples of illicit discharges include the following:
Dumping of trash or debris
Disposing of vehicle/equipment maintenance fluids into a storm drain
Leaking dumpsters flowing into a storm drain inlet
Pouring paints, stains, hazardous materials into a storm drain
Cleaning paint brushes/applicators in or near a storm drain
Allowing wash waters with soaps, detergents, or paint debris into a storm drain inlet
Washing silt, sediment, concrete, cement or gravel into a storm drain
Allowing uncontrolled release of sediment into a storm drain inlet
A measurable flow during dry weather that contains any other pollutants
1.6.6. WASTEWATER: Discharges to the sanitary are prohibited unless authorized by CE En-
vironmental. High expansion foam, aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) or any other firefighting
foam is strictly prohibited in the sanitary or storm system IAW the base’s permits. Recovery tanks
must be added to new facilities OR tied into existing tanks for capture of the foam system. The
need of a new foam recovery tank is to be determined by the contractor, the 633 CES Engineering
project manager/engineer, the 633 CES Operations Water/Fuel Systems Maintenance Shop and
the Fire Department. Frac tanks are not allowed on base UNLESS prior approval is granted by
633 CES Environmental.
1.7. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT
1.7.1. Hazardous Materials Usage and Reporting: In compliance with AFMAN 32-7002 En-
vironmental Compliance and Pollution Prevention dated 4 Feb 2020, all Contractors are required
to report the usage of all hazardous materials to the Federal Government for all projects and con-
tracts including service contracts executed on JBLE-Langley. In accordance with FAR Clause
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Revised 20 Feb 20
52.223-3, each offeror (Contractor) must provide the Contracting Office with a list of proposed
HAZMAT that it plans to use on the installation during the performance of the contract. In ac-
cordance with AFFARS Clause 5352.223-9303, Contractors must obtain Air Force authorization
prior to using HAZMAT on an Air Force installation, and must report usage data to the HAZ-
MART.
Hazardous materials are any substance defined by OSHA as a hazardous substance requiring a
Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Hazardous materials that need to be reported include but are not limited
to chemicals, paints, thinners, sealing compounds, strippers, glues, solvents, all petroleum products
including oils, hydraulic fluids, and fuels stored on-site (fuels in vehicles are exempt), pesticides,
adhesives, acids, flammables, corrosives, oxidizers, compressed gases (such as but not limited to
oxygen, acetylene, propane, flammable and non-flammable gases), all aerosols, and all materials
containing hazardous substances.
The Contractor shall request the proposed usage of all Hazardous Materials by completing the
“Contractor Hazardous Material Worksheet” at Attachment 2A (Contractor Hazardous Material
Worksheet) for each project, the accompanying excel spreadsheet at Attachment 2B (Contractor
HazMat SDS Submittal) listing information for each hazardous material and shall submit a copy
of the SDS for each item to the Contracting Officer (CO) prior to bringing the items on the instal-
lation. The Contractor shall submit to the CO the information for each item not less than thirty
(30) calendar days prior to bringing the items on the installation in order to give the government
sufficient time to review and approve the hazardous materials. The Contractor shall submit this
information to the CO as soon as possible for short notice contracts or projects. An electronic
version of the Contractor Hazardous Material Worksheet and Contractor HazMat SDS Submittal
can be obtained through the Project Manager or 633 CES/CEIE.
The CO will immediately provide this information to the Project Manager who will in turn imme-
diately provide it to 633 CES/CEIE. If possible, it is best for the contractor to submit this infor-
mation electronically so it can be distributed to reviewing parties electronically for a faster review.
Submit the worksheet, accompanying excel spreadsheet and the SDS for each hazardous material.
After the project starts, monthly usage information will be provided to the CO who will in turn
provide this information to the Project Manager who will in turn provide it to 633 CES/CEIE.
Attachment 3 (Monthly Report for HAZMAT) of this section will be used to report monthly usage.
For contracts/projects exceeding six months, this form is required to be filled out on a monthly
basis. For contracts less than six months, this form is required at the beginning and upon comple-
tion of work.
If there are any questions on how to fill out the Contractor Hazardous Material Worksheet or the
monthly report, see your Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer Representative (COR) or project
manager (PM).
1.7.2. Hazardous Materials Management Process (HMMP): The JBLE-Langley HMMP team
will meet on an as-needed basis to review the Contractor Hazardous Material Worksheets and
SDSs to ensure there are no concerns with the chemicals being used and/or stored on the installa-
tion. If there are concerns about any chemicals and if it is determined that the Contractor plans to
use an extremely hazardous chemical on JBLE-Langley, the HMMP team will notify the Project
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Revised 20 Feb 20
Manager and the Contracting Officer (CO) who will in-turn notify the Contractor of JBLE-Lang-
ley’s concern. The Contractor will not bring any extremely hazardous chemicals on JBLE-Langley
or any other chemicals that the HMMP team determines cannot be used on JBLE-Langley. The
HMMP team will also notify the Project Manager if all hazardous materials are authorized for use.
If the Contractor requires additional hazardous materials not previously submitted for approval,
they shall submit the request as stated above seven days prior to bringing the item on the base.
NOTE: If it is determined at any time that hazardous materials are on site that were not reported
in advance, the CO will be notified and the project can be stopped until the materials are submitted
as stated above.
1.7.3. Hazardous Material Storage: Hazardous materials will be managed properly at all times
while on JBLE-Langley. This means containers will be in good condition and will be properly
labeled with the contents and hazard class (flammable, corrosive, oxidizer, etc.) at all times. Con-
tainers will be closed at all times when not in use. Hazardous materials shall be kept under cover
to protect them from the elements and to prevent stormwater runoff contamination. Tanks and 55-
gallon liquid drums shall have secondary containment. Gas cylinders shall be maintained in the
upright position with caps on and secured with chains and locks to prevent tampering and from
falling over. Gas storage areas will have signs indicating what type gases are stored in the area
(i.e. flammable, oxidizer, non-flammable, etc.). NO SMOKING signs will be posted in all haz-
ardous materials storage areas. In addition, all hazardous materials will be segregated in storage
according to compatibility (i.e. flammables will not be stored with corrosives, corrosives will not
be stored with oxidizers, flammable gases will not be stored with flammable liquids, etc.). JBLE-
Langley is subject to inspections at any time from outside agencies (EPA, Virginia Dept. of Envi-
ronmental Quality and OSHA). Any violations by the Contractor will be the responsibility of the
Contractor and any fines associated with the violations will be resolved at the Contractor’s ex-
pense.
1.8. USE OF RECYCLED-CONTENT PRODUCTS: (GREEN PROCUREMENT): When-
ever the potential for use of non-recycled content products exists during the construction stage of
the project, the Contractor shall incorporate in this project, as a substitute, recycled-content prod-
ucts that are listed and identified in EPA’s Comprehensive Procurement Guideline (CPG) Program
for recycled-content products. The Contractor shall use recycled-content products as required by
EPA and other governmental agencies and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses.
It is mandated by Executive Order 13423, (Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy and
Transportation Management) and Section 6002 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA) that the Federal Government use recycled-content products in the construction and/or
renovation of facilities. It is the intent of the Federal Government to comply with the EPA re-
quirement 100% of the time and use as many of the applicable listed recycled-content products as
feasible and economically practical. The Contractor shall consider this a standard requirement for
all aspects of the project construction.
The recycled-content products listed in the CPG can be found on EPA’s website.1 These products
are also listed in Attachment 4 (Contract Submittal and Contractor Reporting Form). This list is
1 www.epa.gov/cpg/products.htm
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Revised 20 Feb 20
subject to change at any time so it is the Contractor’s responsibility to be aware of any updates or
additions.
Such products shall also comply with the requirements of EPA’s Consolidated Recovered Materi-
als Advisory Notice (RMAN). The RMANs recommend recycled-content ranges for CPG prod-
ucts based on current information on commercially available recycled-content products. The rec-
ommended recovered materials content percentage can be obtained by clicking on the product on
the website.
1.8.1. Green Procurement Forms Before starting the project, the Contractor shall complete At-
tachment 4 indicating the items he or she plans to use. The Contractor will provide this to the
Contracting Officer and the Project Manager. Upon completion of project construction, the Con-
tractor shall complete the form again. At this time, the Contractor shall indicate the use and non-
use of products that are contained in the CPG, and shall list the recycled-content percentage for
the applicable item. In each instance where a recycled-content construction product is not used,
the Contractor shall provide to the Contracting Officer (or his/her designated representative) and
the Project Manager a completed Exemption Form, Attachment 5 (Recovered Materials Determi-
nation Form).
The Contractor shall complete this form for all items for which he or she desires an exemption
from the Green Procurement Program for Recovered Materials that are being procured. Exemp-
tions can only be taken if all of the following conditions are met:
(1) The item is not available within a reasonable period of time
(2) Item fails to meet a performance standard in the specifications, and
(3) The item was only available at an unreasonable price i.e., the recycled-content product
costs more than the non-recycled content product.
The fourth reason on the Recovered Materials Determination Form (i.e., the item is not available
from two or more sources), does not apply to construction/renovation Contractors as the Federal
Government will not prescribe where you can get your materials from. The Contractor shall pro-
vide specific reasons why an item is exempt, and shall furnish supporting documentation.
The Contractor will sign the completed Attachment 4 form as the “Procurement Originator,” which
will also be signed by the 633 CES Engineering Flight Chief or Deputy Flight Chief, 633
CES/CEN. The form(s) will be kept in the project folder indefinitely.
1.9. ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION PROGRAM (ERP) REQUIREMENTS:
[Include only if work is in ERP area. Ensure drawings define IRP boundaries and well lo-
cations] Appropriate, additional guidance will be provided if project impacts an ERP site.
1.9.1. Contaminated Soil and Free Product: Any material (soil) that is suspected of containing
petroleum products shall be reported to the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representa-
tive. If discovered, the Contractor shall mitigate any potential threat to the workers, public and
environment. The area that will be disturbed under this contract has the potential to have free
product migrate into and under the construction site. Comply with VR-680 and record the quantity
of any fuel removed from the line. Contaminated soil and/or free product shall not be used for
backfill or removed from the base without written approval from the Contracting Officer. Once
removal is approved, Contractor shall dispose of material under guidance of the Hazardous Waste
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Revised 20 Feb 20
Manager (633 CES/CEIE). All hazardous waste manifests shall be prepared by the Contractor and
shall be coordinated, approved and signed by the Hazardous Waste Manager (633 CES/CEIE)
prior to removal of such waste from the base.
1.9.2. Site Safety: Site summaries from our Management Action Plan are furnished with this
contract to familiarize personnel with the potential hazards associated with construction and dem-
olition work at these sites. Ensure workers are informed of potential hazardous exposures from
working at these sites, and that the appropriate precautions are followed to minimize hazards to
human health and the environment. Personnel working at these sites shall have 40-hour
HAZWOPER Training. At least one individual on site should have completed the OSHA 8-hour
supervisor training course. The plans identify the boundary of these IRP sites. To perform work
at these sites, the Contractor must have a Health and Safety Plan and Hazardous Waste Disposal
Plan for proper disposal of all regulated materials generated during execution of this project.
1.9.3. Monitoring Wells: There may be several monitoring wells installed in and around the
proposed construction area. Site maps and construction drawings provide the location of these
wells. The Contractor shall take all precautions to prevent any damage to wells. If the wells and
associated structures are damaged during the project, the Contractor shall repair/replace all dam-
ages at no additional expense to the Federal Government. Contractor shall dispose of all regulated
materials during repair of the damaged structures and remove any free product as required by
VDEQ regulations.
1.9.4. Additional Excavation: Prior to any excavation beyond the immediate area or boundary
of the construction site, the Contractor shall coordinate with 633 CES/CEI, AFCEC/CZO, and
obtain the Contracting Officer’s approval.
1.10. SOIL SUPPORT PROGRAM (SSP) ACCEPTABILITY
The soils obtained from off-base sources shall meet the criteria outlined below. The soils gener-
ated during construction project excavation will be collectively referred to as “soil media.” Soil
media is not inherently waste-like, but it may contain waste-like materials, including contaminants
associated with historical operations at the site. Given the base history of operations, the Contrac-
tor must make a determination as to whether the soil media is contaminated. If soil media is
determined to be contaminated, then a hazardous waste determination must be made. Standard
test methods are described below. Contaminated soil media shall be managed as a solid waste and
removed from base in accordance with applicable requirements for disposal of solid waste. If the
soil media is determined to be uncontaminated and not waste-like, then it may be reused on JBLE-
Langley as clean fill, upon request with the approval of 633 CES/CEIE, only if there is an identified
need for it or it must be disposed of at an approved landfill.
1.10.1. Clean Soil. Projects requiring clean soil, including but not limited to topsoil and backfill
materials, to be brought onto JBLE-Langley or relocated within base property must meet minimum
standards based on results of physical (geotechnical) and chemical testing. All materials will meet
geotechnical specifications appropriate for the type of project being accomplished and are typically
identified elsewhere in the project specifications. The intent of this section is to prevent cross
contamination (i.e. planned excavation) and define clean soil based on chemical/project specifica-
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Revised 20 Feb 20
tions. Soil contaminant levels shall be tested, with test procedures and results documented to en-
sure that only the source(s) of topsoil and/or backfill deemed to have acceptable soil contaminant
levels be utilized for current and future use. The Contractor shall implement a plan and confirm
the proposed source(s) of clean topsoil and/or backfill (borrow source) meet the clean soil speci-
fications for the project. The plan should incorporate borrow source information, sampling data,
and testing results. The Contractor will submit the sampling plan and results within 30 days of the
start of the project to allow for the review and acceptance/rejection of soil. As a minimum, the
Contractor shall meet the following standards:
1.10.2. Borrow Source. The Contractor shall provide detailed borrow source information (e.g.,
location, owner, operator, past and current land use, previous chemical testing results) at the point
of planned excavation to 633 CES/CEIE to determine chemical testing requirements. The Con-
tractor shall also submit a certification stating the materials contain no asbestos, no gross contam-
ination have been discerned by visual or olfactory observations, and no spills of a listed hazardous
waste (40 CFR 261) have occurred at the borrow site. If previous chemical testing results exist
and are provided, 633 CES/CEIE will evaluate those results to determine if they are sufficient and
the proposed borrow soils meet clean soil requirements. If testing is incomplete, 633 CES/CEIE
will review borrow source information to determine chemical sample requirements.
1.10.2.1. On-base Soil Sources. Unless otherwise provided in the contract, the Contractor shall
bear all expenses of developing the source. For the site where soil is reclaimed from Federal
Government land, the Contractor may be required to perform final grade and seeding according to
project requirements.
1.10.2.2. Excess Soil Work. Acceptable excess soil shall be delivered to the designated loca-
tion(s) following approved haul routes. For the site where excess soil is deposited on Federal
Government land, the Contractor may be required to perform final grade and seeding according to
project requirements.
1.10.3. Sample Plan. At least one composite sample (6-8 grabs) for each undisturbed borrow
source would be taken from the original point of excavation and required for each 5,000 CY of
soil. For soil taken from disturbed borrow sources, samples are required for each 1,000 CY of
soil. The nature of the borrow source is to be considered when determining the quantity and depth
of the samples. Additional samples may be required to adequately characterize the proposed bor-
row source (i.e. laterally and vertically). The Contractor shall submit a Sample Plan (to include
site map, excavation area, location and depth of samples) for 633 CES/CEIE review and approval.
1.10.4. Chemical Testing Standards. The analysis must be performed by an accredited or cer-
tified laboratory approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Virginia
(e.g., Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program [ELAP], Virginia Environmental Labor-
atory Accreditation Program [VELAP]). Submit a copy of the chain of custody and complete
validated report of analysis to 633 CES/CEIE for review and approval 30-days prior to use of any
borrow soils. Chemical testing of any borrow source will include sampling for the following suite
of contaminants (test requirements may be reduced based on borrow source information):
- Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) to include Gasoline Range Organics (GRO) and Die-
sel Range Organics (DRO);
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Revised 20 Feb 20
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) [EPA method 8260B] to include Benzene, Toluene,
Ethylbenzene, and Xylene (BTEX);
The soil support test suite shall also include unless generator knowledge suggests otherwise:
- Semi-volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) [EPA Method SW846 8270D];
- Pesticides [EPA Method SW846 8081B];
- Herbicides [EPA Method SW846 8151A]
- Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) [EPA Method SW846 8082A];
- Cyanide [EPA Method SW846 9210];
- Target Analyte List (TAL) metals (including Mercury) [EPA Method SW846
6020A/7471B];
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) [EPA Method SW846 8260B] other than BTEX
compound reference in the preceding paragraph; and
- PFOS/PFOA [EPA Method SW846 537]
- The above analysis suites will be analyzed on a total constituent basis.
1.10.5. Clean Soil Determination. Soils testing under the EPA screening levels and/or base
“background” levels will be considered acceptable “clean” soil. Results from the total constituent
analysis must not exceed EPA Region III “Residential” Risk Based Concentrations (RBC) and the
JBLE-Langley Upper Tolerance Limit (UTL) background soil concentrations. For use in current
and future industrial areas, EPA Region III “Industrial” RBCs may be considered but shall not
exceed UTL background levels.
1.10.6. Excavation and Delivery Screening. Common to any multiple point sampling, compo-
site testing may not accurately characterize the entire site. Should contamination be detected (e.g.
free product, stained soils, chemical odors) during excavation or delivery, soil operations shall be
immediately discontinued pending 633 CES/CEIE notification and resolution. Additional soil
testing and screening may be required to determine if continued use of the borrow site is accepta-
ble.
1.10.7. Material Physical Characteristics. All soil obtained from sources within or outside the
limits of Federal Government-controlled land shall meet the physical characteristics as defined in
project specifications.
1.11 TREE PROTECTION, PRESERVATION, AND PLANTING
Trees take generations to mature, yet they can be irreparably damaged or killed within seconds, or
subjected to conditions which may take five to ten years to kill them. Improper planting may result
in short-term death, structural failure, or a long-term deterioration. Most situations can be pre-
vented. Contractors are responsible for removing or replacing (at 633 CES discretion) trees which
are critically injured or killed due to a failure to adhere to the following requirements.
1.11.1. Protect Mature Existing Trees. For mature (15+ feet in height) existing trees within a
job site, contractors must protect a minimum amount of area in order to prevent killing existing
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Revised 20 Feb 20
trees through the placement of barrier structures. This minimum amount of area is called the
critical root zone (CRZ) or tree protection zone (TPZ) and is generally agreed to be equivalent to
the soil area below ground and the space above ground defined by the tree’s drip line, or the
greatest extent of the branches. There is a minimum amount of area, above (for the trunk and
crown) and below ground (for soil health and the root system) that is required to protect trees and
preserve tree health. See figure 1 for a diagram of the TPZ. Contractors are responsible for re-
placing trees killed or critically injured as a result of failing to erect barriers or otherwise protect
the TPZ. Examples of damage to trees from failure to protect the TPZ include breaking
branches, tearing the bark, wounding the trunk, etc.
1.11.2. Erect Tree Protection Zone Structures. When a job site will occur in an area with es-
tablished trees, structures must be erected to protect the TPZ. Structures erected to preserve TPZ
shall meet the minimum requirements below.
Chain link fence – 48-inch minimum height
Snow/Sand fence – 48-inch minimum height
Safety fence – 48-inch minimum height
1.11.3. Protect Young Trees. For small trees, newly planted trees, and trees with narrow
crowns, the drip line defined area is too small for proper protection. Therefore, it is best to de-
fine both the critical root and tree protection zones as the circular area above and below ground
with a radius equivalent to or greater than 6 feet or 1.5 feet for every inch in trunk diameter at
4.5 feet above the ground. For example, a tree with a trunk diameter of 6 inches has a TPZ of 9
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Revised 20 Feb 20
feet (6 inches x 1.5) around the tree. Tree trunks and crowns must also be protected to prevent
damage. Tree crowns may be trimmed to prevent damage and facilitate appropriate staging.
When such trimming is required, a professional who is licensed to conduct tree work must be
used to complete the required task.
1.11.4. Damage to Trees from Digging or Trenching. Tree roots can extend far from the
trunk of a tree and are mostly located within the top 18 inches of soil. As shown in figure 2, dig-
ging holes or trenching through roots may disconnect a tree from a large portion of its roots mak-
ing the tree likely to die and become a hazard. The amount of damage a tree can suffer from root
loss depends, in part, upon how close to the tree the cut is made. Severing one major root can
cause the loss of 5-20% of the root system and may cause the death of the tree. Often, this dam-
age is not apparent for many years but can result in costly maintenance or removal requirements
for the base in the future. For projects that require digging or trenching, evaluate where the
trench must go. If the digging and trenching that are necessary will likely sever a portion of the
tree roots, then the Natural Resources Manager shall be consulted to determine if the tree must
be removed. If trenching or hole digging which will result in the death of an established tree is
required in order to complete a project, the contractor will be responsible for removing the tree
and grinding the stump down to ground level. If a tree must be removed, replacement with a tree
of the same species may be required at the contractor’s expense. The 633 CES Natural Re-
sources Manager will work with 633 CES Project Manager to determine the best course of action
for tree replacement.
1.11.5. Planting New Trees. Many construction projects include tree planting during the final
stages. Trees shall be planted and staked (if required) in accordance with industry standards and
as shown in the following two figures. Trees which die as a result of failure to plant and stake
correctly will be replaced at the contractor’s expense.
Figure 2: Trench and hole cuts likely to result in serious damage or death to a tree. If a trench or
hole will result in serious root damage, the tree may have to be removed at the contractor’s ex-
pense.

1.12. COMPLYING WITH WETLAND REGULATIONS
1.12.1. 633 CES/CEIE is not responsible for project compliance with federal, state and local wet-
land regulations. It is incumbent upon design and contracting personnel and contractors to deter-
mine wetland permitting and mitigation requirements. This process should begin with the prepa-
ration of the DD 1391 and DD 813. Please note that your proposed activity may be covered by a
Nationwide Permit (NWP) or a State Program General Permit (SPGP). A Joint Permit Application
(JPA) will be required to determine if either a NWP or a SPGP is appropriate for the proposed
activity. Allow at least 60 – 90 days after application submission for the acquisition of a wetlands
permit if one is required. For additional information on the application process please refer to this
link: http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WetlandsStreams/PermitsFeesRegulations.
1.12.2. All wetlands permitting shall be completed prior to the start of construction activities
which will affect the waters of the United States.
1.12.3. If the installations base wide wetland delineation is no longer legally valid and it is deter-
mined wetlands may be present on a project site, a wetland delineation must be completed to fa-
cilitate permitting. To delineate wetlands and other waters of the United States, the consultant you
select should be familiar with and utilize the current 1987 Corps Wetlands Delineation Manual,
and subsequent guidance, to perform a wetland(s) delineation. The consultant's findings should
then be provided to the Corps in the form of a report. Corps staff will review the validity of the
report and make a written and appealable agency determination on the presence and extent of
wetlands and other waters of the United States on the property.
1.12.4. A Joint Permit Application (JPA) is used to apply for standard permits, also known as
individual permits, for work in the waters of the United States (including wetlands) within Vir-
ginia. Such work may include construction, dredging, filling or excavation in the waters or in
wetlands. The JPA may be optionally used for a Nationwide Permit (NWP) Preconstruction No-
tification (PCN), but if used for a PCN must be boldly marked as a PCN and check marked on
page 7 of the July 2008 revision as a PCN.
These applications are used to apply for permits from the Norfolk District Army Corps of Engi-
neers, the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC), the Virginia Department of Environ-
mental Quality (VDEQ) and local wetlands boards. The JPA process and JPA forms are used by
the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Virginia Marine Resources Commission
(VMRC), the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ), and the Local Wetlands
Boards (LWB) for permitting purposes involving water, wetlands and/or dune/beach resources,
including, but not limited to, construction, dredging, filling or excavation. Read the directions on
the application carefully to determine how many copies must be submitted to the VMRC, who acts
as the clearinghouse for permit applications. Permit applicants may obtain paper copies of the
Joint Permit Applications by calling the Corps at 757.201.7652, or by download:
http://www.nao.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/JPA.aspx
There are two different Joint Permit Applications available for use depending on the type of activ-
ity that you are proposing. If you propose to impact tidal waters, or wetlands, or dunes / beaches
in the Tidewater area of Virginia, you may be eligible to use the TIDEWATER JPA, an abbrevi-
ated version of the Joint Permit Application. Activities eligible to use the Tidewater JPA include
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Revised 20 Feb 20
piers, boathouses, boat ramps, moorings, marinas, aquaculture facilities, riprap revetments, bulk-
heads, marsh toe stabilizations, breakwaters, beach nourishment, groins, jetties, road crossings
over tidal waterways, and utility lines over or under tidal waterways. Dredging and excavation
projects in tidal waterways / wetlands MUST use the Standard JPA.
1.12.5. Your complete JPA shall be submitted to 633 CES/CEIE for review and routing to 633
ABW for the signature of 633 ABW/CC. 633 CES/CD shall be designated as the agent.
1.12.6. Contracts, specifications and bid documents/advertisements should clearly indicate that it
is the general contractor’s responsibility to determine and verify the presence and location of ju-
risdictional wetlands, prepare permit applications and other documents for the 633 ABW per
1.12.6, submit permit fees and make any required payments in lieu of mitigation to the Virginia
Aquatic Resources Trust Fund or its legal designee.
1.12.7. Contractors and Federal Government representatives must make themselves aware of all
specific conditions associated with the approved permit. Therefore, the approved permit must be

1.15 ROOF DESIGN TO MINIMIZE BIRD COLONIZATION As an Air Force Installation
the presence of large colonies of birds poses a hazard to the JBLE-Langley mission. Roof design
that minimizes bird colonization will reduce the frequency of aircraft impacts with wildlife and
protect the life of military personnel in and around the airfield. Colonial shorebirds such as Least
Tern, Killdeer, and American Oystercatcher have demonstrated an affinity for rooftop nesting on
flat gravel rooftops. In order to prevent Bird Aircraft Strike Hazards, the installation of flat gravel
rooftops on new buildings should be avoided. Major roof repair to existing gravel rooftops should
include the removal of gravel substrate and replacement with energy efficient materials such as tar
shingles, rubber, vinyl, or polyurethane materials.
1.15.1. If a shorebird colony is found to be actively nesting on building during repair or replace-
ment of an existing roof, harassment or take of shorebirds is prohibited by the Federal Migratory
Bird Act. If shorebirds are present, the Natural Resources Program Manager should be contacted
so that the best course of action in compliance with all State and Federal regulations can be iden-
tified.
1.16. DISCREPANCIES. In case of a conflict or discrepancy between Installation Management
regulations or laws and the contract specifications, the Contractor shall immediately submit the

matter in writing to the Contracting Officer for a determination. Without such determination, any
actions taken shall be at the Contractor’s own risk and expense.
